In this episode of the Discover EV Podcast, Louise Woodhams speaks to Melanie Lane, CEO of leading UK EV charging provider Pod, about whether Britain’s electric vehicle transition is genuinely gathering pace. Against the backdrop of rising battery-electric car registrations and the Government’s latest review of the Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate, they discuss whether EV targets are running ahead of consumer demand, what is driving adoption and whether the UK charging network can keep pace. The conversation also explores the cost and reliability of public EV charging, the divide between drivers with and without off-street parking, investment in rural and residential infrastructure, and what government, local authorities, car manufacturers and charging providers must do to make switching to an electric car easier, fairer and more affordable.
Correction: During the episode, Melanie refers to Pod having completed more than 300 installations. The correct figure is more than 300,000 installations.
